Crafting has been one of the things to largely fall by the wayside since we have moved. I got rid of ALL my wool stash although I kept all my various needles and crochet hooks. Anyway, Tam had suggested we go to Wonderwool this weekend - it's just down on the showground and it has been many years since I last went (although Covid did get in the way too).
I knew it would be very busy there by the queues of cars waiting to get onto the showground which were backed up right out of town. We went in via Co-op and then around the back by the castle so we were on the main road through - the queued up cars had to join this road.
A big stand here for various types of looms - as you can see, lots of interest. As an impatient Aries, I think warping up would finish me off!
This was the Baavet stand - they sell duvets and pillows which have pure wool linings. As you can see, the stall was bulked out with cushions, lamps and for some reason, jewellery too . . .
Colourful needle-felted pictures.
Skeins of different yarns everywhere.
Some lovely examples of what you could make from them too. Such a pretty lacy shawl.
More needle-felting - beautiful landscapes here.
Mixed media textile pictures too.
Another idea for weaving on small frames.
The Ukrainian stand - those rugs were SO soft.
Tam and I were very taken with the beautiful x-stitch designs on these smocks.
It had to be done!! A crocheted hexie sheep.
I liked this tapestry kit, but didn't look for the price as I didn't have £50 or so to spare.Leicester Longwool sheep. There were several pens of different breeds throughout the stands.
I'll show you what came home with me in my next post. Going back to bed now (I've been awake since 4 a.m. and downstairs 2 hours now . . .)
